His clinical interests include non-operative management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries, sports medicine, ultrasound-guided procedures, and preventive care.

"I believe in listening to my patients, understanding their goals, and working together to develop a practical treatment plan that fits their lives."

He completed medical school at Avalon University School of Medicine, Willemstad, Curacao.
